A little truth, first thing on a Monday morning:

“Do not be afraid to be whom and what you are, even in your society that seeks to deny the truth of the human soul. Do not deny yourself, as others would deny you. How can another take away the knowledge you hold in your heart and in your head that you are so much more than all of this, that the you that dreams is just as real as the one that wakes, and that there is behind all the painting and sculpture of your life, a flame that breathes gently, that knows itself, and that welcomes this world of experience throughout all its ups and downs?"
